5 hours of assembly…Weds
4 more hours adjusting and fine tuning.
Everything…everything, out of alignment and un-square.
Guide post Way out - twisted, Trunion way out, Table - not flat (added shims to split part),
Had a hell of a time with the base…the shelf is 1/2" too short width-wise, the nut's and bolts for attaching the saw to base are inadequate, and impossible to get threaded with my fat fingers, got my girl to do it, getting heftier bolts..
Made a ReSaw of 6" x 1" Maple today, perfect straightness, no drift, even up & down, nice, blade a bit rough, but new one on the way.
Ordered a mobile base (HTC) and ReSaw blade (PS Wood VPC 3/4") last night from WoodCraft with my GiftCard, $92.50
SERIOUSLY thinking about someday replacing the single bearing guides for double Carters.

didn't realize LumberJocks had a Sherrif -
"Joe,
Since you are posting multiple threads about the same subject/topic…"

I (for me, just for me) would like to replace the stock bearing with a set of Carters…big woop, my decision.
